Wearable Pump Recommendations for large breasts

Hi everyone! I am 4 weeks in to this journey with my baby who is struggling to latch to my breast, so I have been essentially exclusively pumping. I have the blue spectra and get around 30 oz a day, but I’m finding pumping and solo parenting during the day when my husband is at work to be completely unmanageable. Every time I try to pump the baby starts crying needing a diaper change or to be held, and I can’t manage with this giant pump. Plus, I have to massage my breasts to fully empty them so I really have zero hands when I am pumping. I need to get a wearable for a couple pumps a day when I’m solo.

I have large breasts (DD+) and was looking at Eufy S2 and the Elvie Stride 2 but can’t decide between the two. I’m also open to other options. Please let me know your experiences! I am really needing some advice here. Quite overwhelmed trying to do this solo during the day.

Note: we are working on breast feeding but baby has a tongue tie and isn’t efficient at the breast. We practice once or twice a day (which then requires triple feeding) because on a good day she can get an oz with a nipple shield. So unless I can figure the tongue tie out with the ENT (we have an appointment Monday) I will need to be an exclusive pumper.
